After all, owning the media doesn't give you a right to use... but that's a whole other topic. I think it's fairly clear that Lightwave isn't interested in supporting IRIX anymore. Go figure

While this may be true with other software vendors, Newtek has been pretty good at allowing licenses to be transferred to new owners. As a matter of fact, although there isn't any new version of Lightwave 3D out for Irix any more, I think one can use the Irix license to "upgrade" to Lightwave 3D for other platforms (Mac/PC).
No, I don't own Lightwave 3D on Irix, but I have a licensed copy on my PC.
